Desert mirage (or hallucination)?

I don't often see exotic dancers in gold lamé and diaphanous gowns on the trails I hike, but when I do it's usually on the very dangerous desert trails. Or, maybe it was a mirage. Or hallucination.

How do I know they were exotic dancers? I saw them later, at sunset, two dunes over from me. Dancing. With a camera on a tripod. Very cool.
